The 16 Days of Activism for the Elimination of Violence Against Women begins this Sunday 25th November. Over the 16 days, we will be taking the opportunity to raise awareness about violence against women, its causes, its consequences, and what we as a society can do to stop it.
Don’t forget to keep an eye on our Twitter and Facebook for 16 Days activity, and in the meantime check out our calendar of events spanning the 16 days (and a few extra days…)
